Verdict
Flight Of Fantasy and Master Archer were both fourth over 1m5f at Newbury last time but PADRINHO won a shade cosily over course and distance last month and may still be improving. John Best’s charge is preferred to Ingleby Mackenzie, who got off the mark over 1m4f at Doncaster and is only 2lb higher, and Precision. The latter is a son of Galileo but has been looking woefully one-paced and there is no guarantee that he’ll stay this far on breeding. Our Boy’s future may lie on the all-weather.
